Nordblut says it right.The war was unavoidable. Germany had to stand up and fight for its very survival. Versailles denied Germany its very sovereignty. The life-blood of the nation was being sapped.Hitler was the wrong man at the right time: Up until 1938 the whole world respected and even admired Adolf Hitler for standing a nation back on its feet.But he was no general.
Germany had a superior and highly trained military equipped with the best technology which dominated the world for 4 long years.Only after late 1942 did Germany start to loose to improved Allied technology.It is a sad story indeed. That such a nation should fall from such a hight. We will forever be paying the price.

Thunders wrath,

Hi,

J. Knife here.
My e-mail capability, {server settings,}
have been messed up for 5-6 weeks.
I went through two Internet service providers,
and settings are messed up still.
A new disc from Netscape should come in a couple of days.
My bookmarks and email disappeared too.
However all the German language help you have given me,
I printed 'on paper' and is saved!
It is in a three ring binder, every word.
Thank you so much, I'll write soon
and are you in California?

There's no doubt that Hitler's move into Poland is what started the war. Just prior to this, his armies had entered Prague and occupied the rest of Bohemia and Moravia. They'd been changed over to a protectorate of the Reich (I dug up the details for clarity). British PM Chamberlian feeling betrayed over Hitler's seizure of Czechoslavokia, put Britain on an immediate war footing. Hitler had violated the terms of the Munich Agreement. You know, that piece of paper Chamberlain waved in the breeze while promising "peace in our time."

I know this is way too brief, but it's enough to gather from the prelude to the war what ignited the war itself. Hitler gambled and lost, as I see it.

IMO Hitler would have lost either way, and might have been even worse had he not had those flaws. There would have been more deaths, a longer war, and perhaps even more than 6 million claimed dead by the holohoax. I just don't think they had much of a chance against the US and the USSR without some kind of miracle psycho-warfare.

Agree, Hitler broke some agreements and invaded after he had healed Germany.

You'll have to flesh out that idea. The Jews made Hitler march over the Czechs and invade Poland? The brutal treatment of the Czechs under Nazi occupation also answers Redrum's question as to whether the Reich would have been a "haven" for other Whites.

If you know anything at all about European history then you know full well that there never was a "Czech Republic" before WW1. Both "Czecho-Slovakia & "Yugo-Slavia" were inventions of the French & British in 1919. (Both no longer exist).

The kingdoms of Bohemia & Moravia were an integral part of the Holy Roman Empire right from the 9th century, (tausendjaerig Reich) and German was the language of the students attending the University of Prag. Germany did not "invade Poland" when it re-occupied land confiscated from the Reich just 20 years before; where millions of ethnic Germans were being robbed & mistreated after the Polish anexation of their lands in 1919-1923.

It was expected of Germany to right the wrongs done to it by the "Treaty of Versailles"; a treaty that was forced upon 120 million Germans in Bismarck-Germany & Greater Austria without even allowing their representatives attendence at the conferences which led to the signing of that disgraceful dictate.

Germans, Slavs and Hungarians lived in peace, harmony and prosperity together for most of the history of the German Reich along with many other European ethnic groupes.

Yes it is true; there was a world-wide boycott of goods from Germany from 1933 onward.
